Moronic garbageman Ernest (Jim Varney) inadvertently frees a troll from a centuries-long imprisonment beneath a tree. Well, it's an Ernest movie so keep expectations simple. It is funny in spots and completely earnest (no pun intended). It's something children should enjoy more than adults. There's lot of slapstick humor and face mugging. Jim Varney repeats many of the same gags that he uses in most of his movies. Eartha Kitt is fun. The troll looks pretty cool. I gotta admit I laughed when Ernest called the troll 'booger lips.' So there's some laughs to be had if you still have some kid left inside. Gets better as it goes along.
